Marine health specialist; Marine doctor
Description
The maritime health expert is the doctor responsible for maritime occupational health, in both the medical care and preventive aspects, and all related activities (medicine for boarding, at the port, for the traveller, telemedicine, emergencies and rescue). Sea workers are exposed to a series of specific risk factors caused by their activity and their social and professional environment. The main goal of the maritime health expert or maritime doctor is to minimise the factors that significantly influence the common disorders and diseases of sea workers and the accident risks inherent to the profession, which are greater than for most jobs on land.
